🖥 GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [December 04 - 08]🖥 GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY -
This week, gold prices have continuously increased sharply after breaking the important resistance level at 2,010 USD/oz. Gold price at one point climbed to 2,075 USD/oz and closed the week at 2,072 USD/oz.
Although the FED Chairman's statement is still heavily "hawkish", the gold price has almost ignored this as it continuously escalates.
Some market analysts say that while the Fed may not be ready to cut interest rates anytime soon, it clearly won't be able to continue raising interest rates as the economy begins to slow. The CME FedWatch tool also shows that markets are currently assessing a more than 50% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in the first quarter of 2024.
In addition, gold prices have also been supported by many other factors, such as central banks are still continuously buying gold, physical gold demand has reached its peak season in Asia, and geopolitical tensions are increasing. Political tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe are still escalating, which will stimulate haven demand for gold...
Next week, the most important data is non-farm payrolls (NFP) expected to reach 185,000 jobs. If NFP increases higher than expected, the FED may extend the period of maintaining interest rates at high levels, negatively impacting gold prices next week. On the contrary, if NFP is lower than this expected level, this factor will support gold prices next week.
📌Technically, after breaking the 2010 resistance level according to chart D1, the gold price almost reached the old peak of 2080. If this mark is broken, gold will create a new high price, corresponding to the Fibonacci Extension milestones. , the 100 fibo mark is above 2100, while the 161.8 fibo mark is above 2200. The trading plan for next week will consider selling around the 2130 mark, and buying if the price returns to retest the 2010 resistance level.

we had called it at a lovely time:
XAUUSD: Deceiptful 1D Golden Cross on All Time High territory?Gold entered the All Time High territory on heated overbought technicals on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 73.661, MACD = 29.580, ADX = 38.098) so far coming only a fraction away from hitting the May 4th 2023 ATH. Practically this is a Resistance line that formed long term tops and rejected the price another two times, on March 8th 2022 and August 7th 2020. The least immediate decline has been -6.15% (May 4th 2023) then -8.62% (March 8th 2022) and the maximum of -10.35% (August 7th 2020). Keep in mind that all three selloffs hit (or nearly hit) the 1D MA50.
This time however, the market faces a significantly altered dynamic as along with the ATH test today, it formed a 1D Golden Cross. Every time since The August 7th 2020 High, Gold formed a 1D Golden Cross, a rally always followed. So far we've had four such formations into rallies.
If the highest ever Golden Cross can be enough to invalidate the ATH and close a week over it, then we can expect the psychological level of 2,100 to be tested immediatelly. If not, then a minimum of -6.15% decline will send Gold to 1,955 and most likely by that time under the 1D MA50.

GOLD → Consolidation before the news. What could happen? OANDA:XAUUSD continues to consolidate in the 2050 - 2035 range. Powell speaks again today, earlier the US market got a higher GDP and good Initial Jobless Claims data, how will this affect his speech and how might gold react?
The TVC:DXY is testing local levels, ahead of ISM Manufacturing PMI & Prices and also at 16:00 and 19:00 GMT Powell will speak. US inflation is declining and there are indicators for that, but the dollar is strengthening, which provokes gold to form a consolidation.
We are now confused by the death cross on D1, but again, since the gold is in a global sideways range, maybe we should not pay so much attention to this signal.
At the moment gold is testing the level of 2048.77 with a false breakdown.
On H1 we see strong consolidation, range boundary tests and false breakdowns. The market will wait for the news and most likely there will be no strong movements before that. The price is gaining liquidity before Powell's speech.
An actual rate cut is out of the question now, we will only need to hear positive sentiment or hints. If Powell hints more strongly about an imminent change of monetary policy to a more loyal one, the dollar index will resume its bearish trend and gold will head towards the upper global boundary of 2059 - 2067.
But, as a force majeure, negative news for gold, the realization of a false breakout and death cross, the price could quite possibly test both trend support, 2022, and the far liquidity zone 2010 - 2020, but it will not change the medium-term and long-term outlook for now. The market could test the global high by the end of the year (perhaps even soon).
Support levels: 2038, 2035, 2022
Resistance levels: 2049, 2059
I am waiting for the publication of news, which will determine the short and medium term scenario for gold. The probability that the price will update the high increases as the Fed's sentiment improves.
Regards R. Linda!

GOLD weakened due to the recovery of the USDWorld gold prices weakened yesterday as the USD recovered and investors were waiting for important inflation data to assess whether the US will cut interest rates sooner than expected. This precious metal decreased slightly in the last session before the PCE data was released. He assessed that the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data in the third quarter was positive, but this data could not affect the market's bets on the Fed cutting interest rates.
Recently, Fed officials warned of the possibility of interest rate cuts in the coming months and expected growth to slow and inflation to continue to decline. These comments pulled US 10-year bond yields down to a two-and-a-half-month low of 4.2470%.
At this session, the dollar fell to near a three-month low, making gold cheaper for buyers with other currencies. Currently, investors are focusing their attention on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at the meeting taking place today, December 1.
GOLD → Price in range, correction may go lower OANDA:XAUUSD is forming another range of 2050 - 2038. Retest of resistance failed to renew the maximum, thus the market may begin to form a correction to support.
The TVC:DXY has been strengthening since yesterday on the back of positive US GDP data. The expectation was 4.9, the actual data: 5.2, which is positive for the dollar.
But the controversial situation here is that a more positive GDP has a greater impact not on the pricing of the dollar, but on the Fed's stance. Hence, with bullish data, Powell is getting closer to initiating policy easing and rate cuts.
Since gold is in a range and already testing the support at 2038, it seems that the correction phase can be stopped either at this level or test areas lower, for example: 0.382 fibo, 2035, 0.5 fibo or global trend support.
A strong rally ends with a correction and it is hard to say where this correction will stop.
Support levels: 2037.7, 2035, 2030, 2022
Resistance levels: 2050, 2052, 2059
There are important news today, it is worth paying attention to the Initial Jobless Claims, even relatively good news for the dollar (related to inflation) can weaken its price, as the market is waiting for news related to monetary policy.

XAUUSD Is it time to finally break above the 3 year Resistance?Gold (XAUUSD) entered yesterday the Resistance Zone that has been in effect for more than 3 years (40 months actually) since the week of August 03 2020. The main characteristic of this zone is that even though the 1W (weekly) candles broke within it, they all closed eventually back below it. And this is why we make this analysis today on the 1W time-frame instead of the 1D, which is about to complete a Golden Cross.
The question on everyone's mind and rightly so is, will Gold finally break past this Resistance or it will be emphatically rejected into a new round of selling as the previous 3 times? Of course there is no definitive answer but we need to look at the pattern dynamics infront of us.
The current rally since the October 02 (1W) Low has a distinct set of features that wasn't present in the other times the Resistance Zone was tested. Its bottom was made exactly on the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) and the first pull-back found support and rebounded on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). This indicates bullish bias of buying on key demand trend-lines that we didn't see on the previous tests.
The 1W MA50 rebound in particular basically invalidated the similarities with the May 31 2021 rejection, which broke below the 1W MA50 and was later rejected on it, turning it into a Resistance.
So what's next? Well despite the obvious different buying pressure on this rally, if the current 1W candle closes below the Resistance Zone, it will be a bearish sign. And the fact that it is such a long-term Resistance, makes a potential sell-off of significant magnitude. If however it closes inside the Resistance Zone, Gold will have made the first step after more than 3 years to finally attempt to break above it in December and make a proper new All Time High (May 01 2023 was just a marginally ATH).
What do you think will prevail? Rejection or new ATH?

GOLD | US Q3 GDP Revised Up To 5.2%, DXY BouncesUS GDP KEY POINTS:
- US GDP Q3 (2nd Est) Actual 5.2% Vs 2.1% Previous.
- GDP Price Index QoQ (2nd Est) Actual 3.5% Vs 1.7% Previous.
- Markets Continue to Price in More Aggressive Rate Cuts from the Fed in 2024, Weighing on the US Dollar.
The US economy grew at an annualized rate of 5.2% in Q3 2023, above the forecasted figure of 5% and revised from the initial estimate of 4.9%. The latest GDP estimate is based on more complete data than the previous "advance" estimate.
The update showed upward revisions to nonresidential fixed investment and state and local government spending, but there was a downward revision to consumer spending. Residential investment increased faster than expected (6.2% vs 3.9% in the initial estimate), private inventories contributed more to growth, and government spending increased at a faster rate (5.5% vs 4.6%). However, consumer spending only rose by 3.6%, slightly lower than the initial estimate but still the largest gain since Q4 2021.
Disposable personal incomeincreased $144.0 billion, or 2.9 percent, in the third quarter, an upward revision of $48.2 billion from the previous estimate.Real disposable personal incomeincreased 0.1 percent, an upward revision of 1.1 percentage points.
US ECONOMY
The US Dollar lost ground despite the data today. There is optimism for earlier rate cuts in 2024, with Bill Ackman suggesting the Fed may act sooner. Fed Policymakers have taken a dovish tone, although Bowman remains slightly hawkish.
The US economy is expected to slow down in Q4 due to higher borrowing costs affecting hiring and spending. The Service sector remains a concern for the Federal Reserve due to high demand and elevated prices. It will be interesting to see how the US economy fares in late 2023 and early 2024 in its fight against inflation.
MARKET REACTION OANDA:XAUUSD
Following the data release the dollar index remained relatively unchanged which shouldn’t come as a surprise. Since then, the DXY has actually retreated a bit but still remain marginally up for the day as it looks to bounce back from 4-month lows.
Gold prices surprised me yesterday if I am being honest but the explosion above the $2000 mark came about largely as markets priced in more rate cuts from the Fed in 2024. At current price levels there is not a lot to analyze from a technical standpoint as price has barely traded at these levels in the past.
However, should we fail to break above the $2050 mark and given the speed of the rally yesterday we could get some form of retracement. Gold bulls will hope for a weekly candle close above the $2000 mark which would be a meaningful step toward further upside.
GOLD continues to climb to the top after the GDP reportWorld gold prices today continued to climb to a peak after the latest report showed that US GDP in the third quarter increased by 5.2% instead of the estimate of only 4.9%. Today's world gold price listed on Kitco is at 2,042 USD/ounce, up 2 USD/ounce compared to early yesterday morning.
Precious metal prices continued to climb to their peak after the latest report showed that US GDP in the third quarter increased by 5.2% instead of the estimate of only 4.9%.
Stronger GDP data boosted the USD and put slight pressure on gold in mid-week trading. However, expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may cut interest rates in the first half of next year continue to keep bullion near a 7-month high.
GOLD → Correction after a false breakdown. US GDP aheadOANDA:XAUUSD reaches the previously mentioned 2050 area a bit faster than we expected. The rally is followed by a logical correction. But how long will the correction last?
On D1 we see a counter-trend correction in TVC:DXY . The correction may last until the publication of GDP related news, which is published today at 15:30 GMT. Analysts are expecting the same level of gdp that was released in November.
GDP is the broadest measure of economic activity and a key indicator of the health of the economy.
Gold may test one of these liquidity areas before rising further. The potential and increased interest will continue to forimize the bullish trend, but the price cannot go up all the time.
It is worth paying attention to the liquidity areas: 2037, 2035, 2033, 2029, as well as 0.382 fibo, 0.5 fibo. False breakdown of one of these areas and subsequent price consolidation above the level may end the correction.
Resistance levels: 2038, 2042
Support levels: 2037, 2035, 0.382 fibo, 2033, 0.5 fibo.
Expecting a correction. The price may head towards any of the mentioned zones before further growth. It is impossible to determine in advance where the price will stop, it will show only the reaction of the price to one of the levels.

GOLD → Consolidation 2010-2018. What can happen? OANDA:XAUUSD within a strong bullish trend is forming a consolidation in the 2018 - 2010 range. Lower volatility is forming and several candlestick indications are forming that price may test support before further distribution.
On D1 we can see that the leading asset, in our case it is the TVC:DXY , is testing support, which may trigger a correction to local resistance, which will have a corresponding effect on the slave asset (gold may also start a correction within this range).
The trend is bullish, moving averages and key levels support this direction, there is no sense to talk about any medium-term and long-term sales now.
The market within the consolidation will form a lot of opportunities to gather as much liquidity as possible before further movement in one or another direction. Consequently, border touches, false breakdowns and long shadows can be formed relative to the 2018-2010 range (consolidation). But this is not the only scenario.
A breakdown is possible with a quick retest with reduced volatility. In the long term, we should wait for a breakout of resistance.
Support levels: 2010, 2007, 2004, 2000
Resistance levels: 2018, 2020, 2022
I expect consolidation within the range with the subsequent breakout of resistance, which can happen after a correction or after a quick retest of 2018

GOLD POSSIBLE 100+ pip trade Hello traders , gold broke a strong resistance on monday with the daily candle closing above.
the market has been ranging since .
with the weakening of the US Dollar to me gold may still push to the upside there is alot of potential.
if the price manages to break above the range with an hourly candle id enter on a retest.
but the safest entry is to wait for the price to come down and give a hammer on the support of the range which also serves as a support that used to be resistance .
well those are the two trend following scenarios that i see.
GOLD continued increaseGold prices today (November 28) increased slightly. Although the precious metals market is having some significant upward momentum, analysts are wondering whether gold can reach an all-time high in the near future. come or not.
The gold market is benefiting from new market expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon cut interest rates. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the market sees a 25% chance that interest rates will rise as early as March; However, the market sees a higher likelihood of an interest rate cut in May or June 2024.
Looking at gold's technical price action, some analysts say breaking above $2,010 an ounce is a key hurdle the market needs to overcome to have a chance at reaching all-time highs.
Investors are now awaiting revised US third-quarter GDP figures to be released on Wednesday and the core consumer price index, the US Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure. ), on Thursday.
GOLD | Challenging key technical resistance levelsTECHNICAL ANALYSIS OANDA:XAUUSD
Gold prices rose on Monday, supported by falling US bond yields and a weaker US dollar. With recent performance, the precious metal is up more than 8% since October, moving above the psychological $2,000 level – a technical signal that has reinforced the metal's constructive trend.
To have stronger confidence in the bullish thesis and to validate the potential for further upside, a clear and decisive move above $2,010/$2,015 is needed – a key resistance area that has consistently hindering progress since the beginning of the year. While overcoming this hurdle could pose a challenge for the bulls, a breakout could fuel a rally to $2,060, followed by $2,085, the highest in the month 5.
In case gold is rejected from its current position, the asset could trend towards support between $1,980 and $1,975. Price is likely to stabilize in this area on a bearish reversal, but a push below this floor could result in a pullback towards the 200-day simple moving average located around the $1,950 mark. Below this threshold, attention may focus on $1,937.
GOLD → Retest of previously broken support is possible OANDA:XAUUSD has been forging a bullish momentum since the opening of the session and updated its global highs to $2018. The market under the pressure of increased interest, weak dollar and fundamental factor is likely to continue its growth.
In the next few days, no important news that could change the situation is expected, therefore, the favorable fundamental background that supports the market may push the price even higher. If we look at the TVC:DXY , the dollar has room to fall, as the dollar has not reached its target yet and it is still a long way away.
Gold is moving out of the range and the resistance at 2010 is now a support. There is a high probability that the price can still test this support area before rising further.
The moving averages are supporting the bull market and the price is going to reach one of the important targets: 2022
Support levels: 2010, 2004
Resistance levels: 2018, 2022
I expect that the local momentum may pause to retest the support. The market may head towards the nearest level from below for a retest before rising further. Targets are indicated on the chart.

XAUUSD: Channel Up offering trading opportunities.Gold is trading inside a Channel Up on the 4H timeframe since the Nov 12th low. Stable bullish technical outlook on 4H (RSI = 66.543, MACD = 8.550, ADX = 30.155), which calls for an extension of the current price action which is at the bottom of the Channel Up currently, to a new HH. We aim at a +1.96% rise (symmetrical with previous bullish legs), TP = 2,030.
Sell if the 4H MA50 breaks (current Support) and target the 4H MA200, our current projected TP = 1,975 but will change depending on when the breakout happens.

🥇 GOLD - Growth will continue after a pullback Gold continues to strengthen on the trend. This market is attracting more and more investors every day on the background of geopolitical and fundamental factors. I expect the market to continue its upward trend as there are several reasons for this.
1) We are in a strong bullish trend
2) Price is breaking strong support lines today and testing new highs.
2.2 At this point it is worth paying attention to levels such as: 2010, 2007. Use the "false breakout" strategy
3) Gold is getting stronger on the background of attracting investor capital
4) High interest in this market also supports the current trend
Targets: 2018, 2020, 2025, 2030
GOLD → A weakening dollar boosts the XAUOANDA:XAUUSD gained +1.1% over the past week. The market is quite strong and the end of the trading week shows a bullish mood and several indications that the growth may continue as the asset has not reached its target yet.
The week ahead is full of important fundamental aspects. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday important news will be released, here are the ones to pay attention to:
- GDP (QoQ
- CPI, Core PCE, Initial Jobless Claims
- ISM Manifacturing, Fed Chair Powell Speaks
The trend seems to be shifting towards inflation improving, the dollar is easing a bit, but the Fed will not cut rates yet, Powell will not make a major move at this stage when there is no fundamental anchoring yet and the market is just showing a reaction.
The TVC:DXY on W1 is in a range, after a false breakdown of resistance the asset is heading towards support, the fundamentals support this decline.
Gold on the other hand in its case is headed for a test of its range, the key level at the moment is 2010.
Earlier, the price consolidated above the key support 1984, against which there was a struggle for several weeks, and also, the micro rally is triggered by the consolidation above 1993.
The market is strong and on the background of the bullish trend is actively capturing important resistance levels.
From the beginning of the opening trading session the local resistance at 2003.6 plays an important role, if this area is broken, the price will head towards 2010, then we should expect the price reaction to this area. The market is in the phase of realization of the bullish potential after the formation of a reversal set-up, bounce from the global trend support and false breakdown of MA200. The breakout of 2010, test of 2025 - 2048 may become the target of such realization.
Regards R. Linda!
GOLD → The market is ready to continue to growOANDA:XAUUSD is standing still on Thursday, which we were prepared for. The TVC:DXY opens with a subsequent decline on Friday, which gives bullish hopes for GOLD to strengthen. Let's breakdown:
On the local timeframe, the prolonged consolidation is forming a symmetrical triangle, but as a strong support area is forming below the pattern and the price is consolidating above the key liquidity zones, the market may try to realize a bullish scenario. This will be facilitated by a break of the triangle resistance, in which case our target will be 2005 and 2010.
Also, due to the fact that the price did not test the liquidity area below 1993, 1984, we have a chance to start another correction before further growth.
On D1 gold is in a range and since support was tested earlier, resistance is still our prospect. The target is the upper boundary of the range - the area of 2010.
Key support: 1993-1992, 1990, 1984
Key resistance: 1998, 2005, 2010
I expect a break of the pattern resistance with further growth to these targets, but since a large liquidity area was formed below the support, the market may test this area before further growth.
Regards R. Linda!
GOLD exceeds 2,000 USD/ounceToday's world gold price increased when the US manufacturing PMI index (an index measuring economic activity) dropped from 50 points to 49.4 points.
This data makes investors believe that the US economy is weakening. Accordingly, they expect the US Federal Reserve (FED) to soon reduce interest rates in 2024 to promote economic growth.
Immediately, the currency market had a certain reaction. The USD Index dropped to 103.5 points, causing the USD to decrease in price compared to 6 other strong currencies, including: Euro, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK and CHF.
Therefore, the world gold price last night had the conditions to rebound and surpass the resistance level of 2,000 USD/ounce. However, because the interest rate on 2-year US bonds increased to 4.95%, 5-year and 10-year bonds increased to 4.5% and 4.48% respectively, it attracted cash flow in the market, preventing hindering the increase in gold prices.
